28. It isn't about being "manly"

Wed Nov 13, 2019, 08:05 PM

Nov 2019

It seems Trof was pointing out that there are big ticket sporting events that Trump has attended but his young son is not taken, nor does Trump spend any time engaging in typical "father son" activities.

I liked sports. My dad and I went to baseball games, we played basketball together, etc...

My oldest son and I used to throw the ball around. My younger kids and I bike around together and used to play soccer until they didn't want to do so anymore.

I also play board games, video games, and other things they like to do, again, which you rarely see Trump doing with Barron. It is like Barron does not exist in Trump's world.

He is notorious for not having had much presence in any of his kids' lives (except Ivanka) until they were old enough to talk business with him.
